From An Affiliates Standpoint....

I've heard that, too.

From a sponsor standpoint, I think that is a dumb business move.

The thing about providing content as a sponsor is that you get to pick and choose what's out there.

Give access to enough affiliates and they are all going to eventually gobble up your content. There will be no need to subscribe if affiliates have all of your wares out there. Or, worse yet, an affiliate that downloads everything and then pirates it or does other nefarious things with it.

If you're going to have to give away your content to shady people, at least get a one month membership out of them. :groovy:

Edit: I am not saying that affiliates are shady. I am talking about pirates. If they are going to leak your content all over the net, at least get a membership fee out of them for it. Otherwise, a pirate will just join as an affiliate and get it all for free.
